 | | Power Usage of RCX
|
| I was astonished to find that when the RCX is just on (NOT running a task) with the light sensor, both switches, and both motors connected that the Battery voltage drops very quickly. 12 mV a second or more. Is this to be expected. Is the RCX watch (...) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) As you draw power out of a battery, its voltage will start to decay. Usually this is specified as some sort of discharge curve of battery voltage vs. time under a constant load. Each type of battery has different characteristics, but assuming (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
